Another poll has found President Obama's approval ratings falling sharply, and the Republican contenders gaining. The New York Times/CBS poll found that Obama's approval rating has dropped 9 points from just a month ago to 41%, with voters increasingly unsure about his handling of foreign affairs. The poll—echoing a Washington Post/ABC poll released yesterday—found that Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum have gained against Obama, who now holds only a 3-point advantage over Romney, and 4 points over Santorum.

Obama's numbers have fallen across all demographic groups, although he still has a double-digit lead over both leading Republican challengers among women. Romney and Santorum, however, hold 6-point and 5-point leads over Obama among men. Obama's drop was especially steep among lower-income households most likely to be affected by rising gas prices, the Times notes. Some 54% of poll respondents believe the president can do a lot about gas prices, while 36% believe they are largely beyond a president's control.

You all are STUPID! You can't tell me are any other race who we can marry. Get " REAL PEOPLE"! I am so sick of these different races acting like they don't like each other and yet you still SCREWING each other and every thing else.. I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT WHAT"S DONE IN THE DARK WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE LIGHT. I bet this is a white guy saying this and you all been after BLACK women from day one. That's why the white woman start getting her some real BLACK MEAT>Yes I said it. Choose your own mate and stop worrying about who's doing who.

Between the clueless element who believe the liars like Bachmann and Gingrich promising $2.00 per gallon gasoline (see above) and the surprising number of bigots calling the POTUS a Muslim http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/12/obama-religion-mississippi-alabama_n_1338990.html and those who think that interracial marriage should be made illegal http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/12/interracial-marriage-deep-south_n_1339827.html this is no surprise. I've said from the get go that Obama's place on Mount Rushmore was insured when he was able to win the White House in 2008, and if he survives a single term without being assassinated, I'll consider it to have been a successful presidency. As for Barack Obama's reelection chances, let's see what happens when a brokered GOP convention brings their compromise candidate out of the back rooms and he has to debate the incumbent POTUS. I predict an Obama landslide.
